I know that most of you that are likely to test this beta version are fans of the slower gamespeeds, such as Odyssey. However, in the interests of catching bugs and imbalances over the course of the full game, I'd like to request that you all try playing at Normal speed. At least to begin with. Thanks

Masinissa - Cirta

PS: Sory for my bad EN:

Tested on normal map normal speed.
I pick Romans and my oponent Egipt.
1. it look okey. But soon Egipt got heavy ahed. I build 5 cyties. Egypt 12.
2. I see my only option is military advance so i prepare army and go.
3. When i konquer two cities (one capital whit many wonders) i see somthing is wrong.
I set income to 0% but still have loot of income.

Then i realize (After mamy turns) the Egipt put large ammout of leaders to his cities. I put only one.
Where the hell he sumon that amount? Its not 10 its about 50 in total.
1 put one GP to city. But income from old egiptian capytal was 65 from 21GP.

Same as what I chose

Dihya al-Kahina - Mascula

Hmm, good find! Wasn't aware of this settlement. I've set her capital as Baghaya (modern Batna) as that was her main centre of operations according to an old text book I have. Mascula does sound like an important place for her though, so I'll add it as a high priority city to her list.

It seems you've renamed the mod, which means I can't load these saved games (not without making a host of internal changes, anyway). I'm surprised that it's actually working properly for you with the new name, there's quite a few files that need to be modified. Please rename it back to just 'History Rewritten' (back up 1.21.1 somewhere else) so I can load any future saved games you may post.

The error you're getting sounds like it might be somewhere in the AI code I've written for Great Prophets. What I suspect is happening is that the error is causing the Prophets to not be deleted after performing an action, so the regular BTS AI is settling them all in cities.

If you haven't already, please enable logging and python exceptions in your CivilizationIV.ini file. Then the next time the error happens, it will be recorded in /Logs/PythonErr.log. Post that here. In the meantime I'll see if I can recreate the issue myself.

Is Roman Balista (Catapult) suposed to kill enemy units?

Yes, that's one of its bonuses. It doesn't have a direct damage cap like Catapults do. Still has a collateral damage cap though.

I'll post the locations of the capitals on the Earth (Huge) map as soon as I'll get some free time and download the beta.

Already done, for Earth (Large) too. Thanks though!

 

[ales_]

I'll tell you my thoughts on how they can be moved then.

 

[dretnoth]

Please rename it back to just 'History Rewritten'

So i was supose to play all HR version as 'History Rewritten' ?
No 'History Rewritten 21 update 1' or 'History Rewritten 22 beta' ?

That will eplain some previus events.

 

[Nightstar]

First game, no problems in the first 60 turns or so. The space for quotes on the tech pop-ups could be wider, though (see screenshot).

Second game, same settings except Temperate climate instead of Tropical, crashed to desktop while trying to create the game. Crash log appended.

Yes, just 'History Rewritten'. Some sections of code need to know the mod's folder name and path, and there's no way to detect what it's been named. Has to be hardcoded. It's a bit of a pain when switching between versions, but no easy way around it.

Definitely, will fix.

That crash has been around for a couple versions now, relatively rare. I may have figured it out though. I think it might be happening when a Natural Wonders is revealed to the human player too early during map generation; trying to display the message and splash screen before the UI is initialised causes a crash. Technically my NW placement code should prevent such a situation, but nothing is ever perfect. I'll add an extra check to switch off the message and movie off till the game has fully initialised, hopefully that will clear it up.

It's a bit of a pain when switching between versions, but no easy way around it.

What I do is append the version number for the one I'm *not* using, then truncate the one I am to just "History Rewritten". And then reverse the process if I want to switch back later.

That would explain why I've never encountered it before. Prior to testing 1.22, I'd just been playing on the Huge Earth map for several versions.

Actually there is a getModName() function in CyReplayInfo

That's what I do too.

Interesting. Never would have thought to look there! Does it returns the name of the mod folder and .ini file, or the name set in the .ini file?

EDIT: Still not a solution for the Civ4.thm file path though

bug report on founding of wodun by AI

Please enable logging and python exceptions in your CivilizationIV.ini file. Then when the error next occurs, post your PythonErr.log (in the Logs folder).

 

[Nightstar]

Got a series of Python errors every time an AI founded and adopted (probably just from adopting, actually) a new religion.

After adopting an AI founded religion and reforming to Prosperity and Ceremony, the bonus Commerce for the former was not listed on the Temple tooltip (though it *was* listed on the city's Commerce breakdown), and Stone/Marble were still disabled.

This one?

I forgot to put logging on but I found a few issues playing as Arabia. Madrassa requires Madrassa, which makes it impossible to build. It seems School also requires a Madrassa but that might be a related problem.

I also can't build an Islamic Mosque - the button on the prophet has no tooltip and no effect is produced upon clicking on it (same for the Zoroastrian grand temple).

(Otherwise, it's a really awesome update!)

Edit: ok, this is weird. I checked and I couldn't actually build any library either. I figured you had done away with them for some reason but no, I just wasn't able to build any ever, not sure why.

Ok, found it. In CivilizationInfos, you put the Madrassa as a Library replacement, but then the Madrassa's buildingclass in BuildingInfos is that of the School. I wonder if I can switch this around and still keep playing my current game.

1) "Custom scenario" still crashes for me.
2) I like all the new capital locations.
